St. Patty's Day!

Happy St. Patty's Day everyone! Chance and I took Rylee to the bars on Fry Street today for a nice relaxing, green beer drinking, lots of food eating, fun day!

We had a blast and we think she did too!

Yes, she is in the bar with us. They let you bring dogs to this fine establishment :)

Caitlyn's Birthday!

A bunch of friend met up tonight at On The Border for Caitlyn's birthday!

After dinner, we all went to Denton Tavern to celebrate.

Happy Birthday Caitlyn! Hope you had a wonderful night and love the earrings!

UNT Midnight Madness

The next day after work Mackenzie met me at the Shops at Legacy to hang out and go into some stores. She ended up buying this really cool Texas shirt that has a great story behind it and we bought matching bracelets. Very cute!

After, we went back to Denton to the Midnight Madness for the basketball players. Our basketball team is really good and this was a fun night out to have fun and get the students pumped about the 2012 season. They had a free throw competition, dunking competition, etc..it was fun!

A few weeks later Mackenzie would be back at home in Boston when Hurricane Sandy hit. So I wore this all week since she had the matching one so I could continue to think and pray for her safety and others. I felt it was fitting since it was blue and water is blue ;)

Sam is in town!

My good friend, Sam, who has lived in Houston for awhile now came in town this weekend. I was so excited to see her since it's been almost a year! The last time I saw her was when I went down to Houston for her birthday last mid-November.

We met a group of friends at BJs in Lewisville on Friday night.
Karina, Courtney and I were there first.
Karina and I are now both brunettes!

Our group :)

My bestie!

After dinner, Karina, Courtney and I went to Public House where Chance works to see him and hang out for a bit.

I'm so happy Sam is back in town even if it is for just two days. Saturday her and her boyfriend Jared, met Chance and I at my parents since the whole reason they were in town was for Jared's triathlon in Rockwall. Since it was at the harbor and so close to my parents house we stayed the night over there.

The next morning Sam and Jared went to the harbor very early and I went later around 8:30am. The roads were completely blocked since there were so many people on bicycles so I had to drive down back roads and neighborhoods to get to the next town just to get on the highway and come back down to the harbor. My mom was following me because she had to go to the airport that morning and was really pushing it since we had to drive so far out of the way!

Overall, Jared won FIRST PLACE for his guys division. Yay go Jared! It was really fun being up there and being immersed in that lifestyle with all those healthy people haha.

A few nights out!

Girls night with my bestie Karina and Sadie!

Another night I went out with Chance, Matt and his sister Alicia, who was in town from Boston, to see Jeremy DJ.

A great weekend!

Friday night I met Stacey, Tiffany and Krystle  and some other friends out at Love and War. We listened to Mark David Manders, Mark Shelton and Jake Bays. It was a lot of fun!

Saturday I went home to hang out with my mom and also so she could make me some of her famous chicken dip. I wanted to serve it Sunday for when Mycah and Josh came over. When I arrived I saw a gift that was wrapped in the kitchen, she said it was mine and when I opened it I was SO excited. She bought me a food processor so now I can make my own chicken dip!

My mom has always wanted a "wrapping area/closet" so we pulled everything out of the closet in my old room. This is the before picture.

And this is the after! Now she has a wrapping area with all of her gift bags, gift tags, tissue paper, etc.

 

Sunday afternoon my mom and I ran some errands and then I rushed home to get ready for our BBQ. Chance and I had Mycah and Josh over so we could catch up and I wanted Mycah to meet Chance since they never have met. We also wanted Chance and Josh to meet since they haven't either! It was a lot of fun. Mycah and I did a lot of talking, the food was great and the guys grilled out and talked the whole time!

After dinner I was walking Mycah, Josh and Roxie (their dog) to the car and I saw a girl walking with a baby raccoon. I really wanted to hold it...after she told me she had taken it to get her rabies shot! So here it is:

She said there is a 50/50 chance on whether or not they will go crazy when they get bigger. Personally, I wouldn't take that chance!

Overall, this weekend was so much fun! I love my family and best friends! :)

Random Pics With Besties

Here are a few pics from May of random hangouts.

Chance and I spent a date night at Speed Zone. We had so much fun playing like kids. We rode go-carts (which I won, of course), bowled, played arcades, golfed, and ate some yummy food. We had so much fun!

One night we met Stace and Jason in Mckinney at an outdoor mall area for an outdoor concert on the lawn. We had such a great time!

Chance loves Top Golf and I had never been so he took me. I did really well for a first timer! We played for about 4 1/2 hours and could've stayed longer!

My girls came in town so we went out in Uptown and Downtown Dallas.
Jessica, Rachel and I

Rachel, Jocelyn, Jacob, Me, Alesia and Alex

Karina and I out and about in Denton. We did a Fry Street Crawl for my graduation!

My New Casa in Denton

So here are the pictures everyone has been waiting to see. I moved into my new house about 2 weeks ago. It is almost 4,000 square feet and sits on 2 acres. Downstairs we have a study, dining room, living area, kitchen, breakfast nook, master bedroom/bathroom, another room and bathroom, and a utility room. Upstairs we have 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom and a gameroom. We have stained concrete through out the house, really soft carpet in the bedrooms, granite countertops and a 3 car garage.
